business exelence awards

A few weeks ago I got a letter in the mail saying that I was nominated in the business awards. Well what a surprise who would have thought, I didn’t even know there was such a thing.
I was very humbled and I don’t know who you are, but thanks.
Sometimes I get a letter, phone call, text message from people whom I treated thanking me because they are feeling so good. It always lifts me up, because after all that’s my goal to make people feel better.
Muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia contain specialized cells that communicate with the brain and spinal cord.
 In a relaxed position our muscles have a certain length and sometimes due to bad posture, accident or working conditions these muscles are being stretched, tendons, ligaments and joint lost their tone or tension and don’t know how to get back to their original position.
Through the Bowen therapy the muscles go back to balance and it normalises our tension levels.  It lessens or elimination the pain and allows an increase in movement around the joint and as a result the body function is back to normal.
The aim of Bowen is for the body to heal itself and correct the dysfunction so people don’t have to keep coming back for treatments.
Muscle memory is being reset by the body itself so unless you keep reinjuring yourself the body will stay in a happy balance.

a body's response to Bowen Therapy

As a Bowen therapist I know how amazing the treatment can be.
I have experienced some great reactions during treatment on myself and also while I treated some of my own clients.
Recently one of my clients walked into my clinic for his appointment, or maybe I should say stumbled, because he was more or less crawling into the clinic from back pain.

Earlier that day he worked on his farm and had to pull a tarp, he felt pain in his hip, but kept on going with his duties. Later he twisted and the pain shot in his hip.
After that, that was it he was not able to move.
He never felt before the 20 k he had to travel into town was that long. (lol he was still able to joke).

Because he was in such bad shape I treated him with our motto " less is best", and booked him in again for the week after.

This time he walked in no worries, and told me the pain was much less.
On his visit the week before I noticed he had very tight hamstrings so I checked them this time again.
They still felt tight so I decided to do the hamstring procedure again.

When I walked back into his room after the 2 min brake during the moves, I noticed his calf muscle was spasming, I asked if that had been going on for a while and he told me it started when I walked out after the hamstring move.
I quickly grabbed my mobile to record it and after another few minutes it finally stopped.
I finished off his treatment and helped him of the table.
Back into the front office I asked him how he was feeling and to no surprise of me he was pain free.


I have not seem him back since, how wonderfull.
Every body loves Bowen.
